"Yes, the killing happens now, but there'll be plenty of time later to write very moving stories about the shape and shade of the bones."

The precision of this. My god.
Photo of a page from Omar El Akkad's ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS that reads: Some of the least established writers I know, the ones who have to work all manner of side jobs just to make ends meet, are actively putting their literary careers at risk by calling for an end to the wholesale murder of a people. Meanwhile, so many of the most established writers are either totally silent or engaged in the tritest finger-wagging about just how terrible it would be for the art if we get too shrill about this sort of thing. Yes, the killing happens now, but there'll be plenty of time later to write very moving stories about the shape and shade of the bones.

Mykonos & Santorini are equally awful. I know Naxos is not like it used to be but still lovely compared to the gruesome twosome. Rural Crete still offers a real escape from crowds.

Santorini is the Temple Bar of Greece. A cultural and ecological dead zone. Some of the nearby Cyclades like Syros and Naxos place much more value on local products, local farm traditions, with at least some awareness of the environment.
